Technical Abstract

Patent Claims
10 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

5

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the first time synchronization protocol is a network time protocol (NTP), and wherein the second time synchronization protocol is a precision time protocol (PTP).

6

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the first reference clock is configured to use the first time synchronization protocol in response to satellite-based timing information being available to the first reference clock.

7

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein devices in the first and second sets of computing devices are head mounted displays, and wherein the head mounted displays provide three-dimensional views that are perceived by users wearing the head mounted displays.

9

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the computing device is a head mounted display, and wherein the shared experience includes an extended reality (XR) environment, and wherein the time value is usable by the computing system to coordinate occurrences of events within the XR environment for the first and second sets of computing devices.

11

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the first time synchronization protocol is a network time protocol (NTP), and wherein the second time synchronization protocol is a precision time protocol (PTP).

12

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the reference clock is configured to use the first time synchronization protocol in response to satellite-based timing information being available to the reference clock.

15

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the shared experience includes generating an extended reality (XR) environment, and wherein the time value is used to coordinate occurrences of events within the XR environment.

16

16. The method of claim 15, wherein a frequency at which events within the XR environment are presented is up to 5% faster than an original presentation frequency associated with the events within the XR environment.

17

17. The method of claim 14, wherein devices in the first set of computing devices are configured to present, according to the timing component, an extended reality (XR) environment based on recorded content of a physical environment in which the devices in the first set of computing devices are located.

18

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the first and second sets of computing devices are head mounted displays, and wherein the head mounted displays provide three-dimensional views that are perceived by users wearing the head mounted displays.
